Objective To develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven lung cancer database by structuring and standardizing clinical data, enabling advanced data mining for lung cancer research, and providing high-quality data for real-world studies. Methods Building on the extensive clinical data resources of the Department of Thoracic Surgery at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, this study utilized machine learning techniques, particularly natural language processing (NLP), to automatically process unstructured data from electronic medical records, examination reports, and pathology reports, converting them into structured formats. Data governance and automated cleaning methods were employed to ensure data integrity and consistency. Results As of September 2024, the database included comprehensive data from 18 811 patients, encompassing inpatient and outpatient records, examination and pathology reports, physician orders, and follow-up information, creating a well-structured, multi-dimensional dataset with rich variables. The database’s real-time querying and multi-layer filtering functions enabled researchers to efficiently retrieve study data that meet specific criteria, significantly enhancing data processing speed and advancing research progress. In a real-world application exploring the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer, the database facilitated the rapid analysis of prognostic factors. Research findings indicated that factors such as tumor staging and comorbidities had a significant impact on patient survival rates, further demonstrating the database’s value in clinical big data mining. Conclusion The AI-driven lung cancer database enhances data management and analysis efficiency, providing strong support for large-scale clinical research, retrospective studies, and disease management. With the ongoing integration of large language models and multi-modal data, the database’s precision and analytical capabilities are expected to improve further, providing stronger support for big data mining and real-world research of lung cancer.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of cold-endoscopic mucosal resection (C-EMR) and hot-endoscopic mucosal resection (H-EMR) for the treatment of colorectal polyps sized 10-20mm.Methods:Patients who underwent colonoscopy at the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Center of the Eighth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected as the research subjects. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria with at least one 10-20 mm, Paris type Ⅰs, type Ⅱa polyp were selected. They were divided into C-EMR group (no high-frequency current treatment) and H-EMR group (high-frequency electrical polyp removal) based on the random number table method. The main outcome measures were the complete resection rate of polyps, the incidence of postoperative complications (bleeding, perforation and infection), and the recurrence rate of polyps in the two groups. Secondary outcomes were the procedure time and cost-effectiveness.Results:A total of 209 eligible polyps were found in 209 patients, 105 in the C-EMR group (105 patients) and 104 in the H-EMR group (104 patients). There was no significant difference in the complete removal rate of polyps [91.4% (96/105) VS 95.2% (99/104), χ2=1.184, P=0.276], the recurrence rate of polyps [2.9% (3/105) VS 1.9% (2/104), χ2=0.195, P=0.683] or the incidence of complications [5.7% (6/105) VS 1.9% (2/104), χ2=2.040, P=0.280] between the C-EMR group and the H-EMR group. Compared with H-EMR group, the operation time of C-EMR group was shorter (5.26±2.41 min VS 9.34±5.63 min, t=-8.478, P<0.001), and the number of titanium clips used was fewer (2.55±0.94 VS 3.94±1.14, t=-9.623, P<0.001), and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant. The cost of polypectomy was lower in the C-EMR group than that in the H-EMR group (2 720±452 yuan VS 3 031±293 yuan), but the difference was not stastistically significant( t=-5.896, P=0.651). Conclusion:C-EMR demonstrates non-inferior efficacy and safety in treating 10-20 mm colorectal polyps compared with H-EMR. Widespread adoption of C-EMR may lead to reduced healthcare costs and expenditures.

Objective:To investigate the iodine nutrition status of children aged 8 - 10 and pregnant women in Xining City, Qinghai Province.Methods:From 2019 to 2021, a stratified cluster sampling method was used to divide 7 counties (districts) under the jurisdiction of Xining City, Qinghai Province into 5 sampling areas according to east, west, south, north, and center each year. One township (town, street) was selected from each area. Forty non boarding students aged 8 to 10 from each primary school (half male and half female, age balanced) and 20 pregnant women from each township (town, street) location were selected to collect edible salt samples at home and a random urine sample to measure salt iodine and urinary iodine level. B-ultrasound was used to measure thyroid volume in children and the goiter rate was calculated.Results:A total of 6 534 samples of household edible salt were collected from children and pregnant women, with an average salt iodine concentration of 25.58 mg/kg. The coverage rate of iodized salt was 97.50% (6 371/6 534), and the qualified iodized salt consumption rate was 89.46% (5 845/6 534). A total of 4 362 urine samples were collected from children, with a median urinary iodine level of 183.10 μg/L. The difference between different years was statistically significant ( H = 20.27, P < 0.001). A total of 2 169 urine samples were collected from pregnant women, with a median urinary iodine level of 168.90 μg/L. The difference between different years was statistically significant ( H = 107.09, P < 0.001). A total of 3 336 cases of thyroid gland examination were conducted in children, including 33 cases of thyroid enlargement, with a goiter rate of 0.99%. There was a statistically significant difference between different years (χ 2 = 15.00, P < 0.001). Conclusion:From 2019 to 2021, children aged 8 to 10 and pregnant women in Xining City are at an appropriate level of iodine, and the achievements in prevention and treatment of iodine deficiency disorders still need to be continuously consolidated.

Objective:To develop a simple and effective subretinal injection pipeline system to enhance the accuracy and precision of subretinal injection volume control.Methods:A retrospective case series study. From May to October 2023, 18 patients (18 eyes) with submacular hemorrhage (SMH) who continuously received modified subretinal injection treatment in Department of Ophthalmology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital were included in the study. Among them, there were 10 males and 8 females. The mean age was (60.00±7.41) years. The primary causes included polypoid choroidal vasculopathy (14 cases), retinal macroaneurysm (2 cases), traumatic retinopathy (1 case), and Valsalva retinopathy (1 case). Hemorrhage affected 14 eyes of the fovea centralis. All affected eyes underwent standard three-channel 25G vitrectomy via the flat part of the ciliary body combined with modified subretinal injection of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. The improved injection system consisted of a 1 ml syringe, a Q-Syte TM connector, a 41G subretinal microinjection needle, a converter and a viscoelastic substance control pipeline. The drug preparation time for subretinal injection (i.e., the time consumed by the system connection step), the injection time, whether bubbles occur during the injection process, and the perioperative complications were recorded and analyzed. Results:The preparation time prior to drug injection ranged from 230 to 335 seconds, while the injection completion time varied between 43 and 75 seconds. Both times decreased progressively as operator proficiency improved. Among the treated eyes, five received a target injection dose of 0.05 ml and thirteen received 0.10 ml, with all eyes achieving the preset dose accurately. No subretinal bubbles were observed during the injection procedure. Additionally, no intraoperative complications such as retinal hemorrhage or tear secondary to mechanical trauma at the injection site were recorded. Postoperatively, one eye developed anterior chamber hemorrhage, which resolved following intraocular pressure-lowering treatment. No other postoperative complications, including hemorrhage, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, or infection, were observed in the remaining eyes.Conclusion:The retinal drug injection system developed in this study has a simple structure, safe and stable operation, can achieve precise drug injection, and effectively avoid the formation of bubbles.

Objective:To investigate the correlationship between an artificial intelligence-based e-Boston bowel preparation scale (e-BBPS) system score and the adenoma miss rate.Methods:Colonoscopy images of 4 373 patients at the Endoscopy Center of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from December 21, 2017 to December 31, 2019 were collected for model training. Patients who underwent colonoscopy at the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from October 8, 2021 to November 9, 2022 were prospectively included. Patient's bowel preparation was evaluated by the e-BBPS system and endoscopists based on BBPS score. If both the endoscopists and e-BPPS system believed that the bowel preparation was sufficient, the patient immediately proceeded to a second colonoscopy. Otherwise, the patient underwent bowel preparation again. The differences in adenoma and polyp miss rate between the qualified group (e-BBPS system score ≤3) and the unqualified group (e-BBPS system score >3) were compared.Results:The adenoma miss rate in the qualified group was significantly lower than that in the unqualified group [26.72% (62/232) VS 42.53% (37/87), χ2=7.384, P=0.007, OR=2.029 (95% CI: 1.212-3.396)], and the polyp miss rate in the qualified group was significantly lower than that in the unqualified group [27.28% (195/702) VS 41.24% (113/274), χ2=16.539, P<0.001, OR=1.825 (95% CI: 1.363-2.443)]. Conclusion:The deep learning-based e-BBPS system demonstrates accuracy and reliability in bowel preparation assessment, offering potential to standardize the process of evaluating bowel preparation and reduce missed lesions.

Objective:To explore the level of positive psychological capital and its trends in traumatic lower limb amputation patients during the 15 months after surgery, and to identify the time period when the patients' level of positive psychological capital is weak, so as to provide a basis for interventions.Methods:This study was a prospective longitudinal study. Convenience sampling was used to select 143 patients with traumatic lower limb amputation admitted to the Department of Emergency Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to November 2022 for the study. General information questionnaire, Positive Psychological-Capital Questionnaire (PPQ) were used on the third postoperative day (T1) , on the day of discharge (T2) , 1 month (T3) , 2 months (T4) , 3 months (T5) , 6 months (T6) , 9 months (T7) , 12 months (T8) , and 15 months (T9) after discharge for a total of nine time points to administer the questionnaire to the patients. One-way repeated-measures ANOVA and plotting of results were performed on the nine time-point data using Graph Pad prism 9.5 software and SPSS 21.0 software, and the data were compared two-by-two using the Bonferroni multiple comparison test.Results:There were 143, 139, 132, 129, 122, 120, 119, 118, and 116 patients who participated in the survey from T1 to T9 time points, with a loss to follow-up rate of 18.88% (27/143) . PPQ scores of 116 traumatic lower limb amputation patients at nine time points were (103.25±9.03) , (108.53±9.32) , (104.38±9.60) , (99.71±9.61) , (95.82±9.55) , (91.49±9.41) , (93.34±9.29) , (93.53±9.14) , (93.62±9.05) , and the mean PPQ scores were lower than the theoretical mean (104) at all time points except T2 and T3 time points. One-way repeated-measures ANOVA showed that the difference in the change in the level of positive psychological capital of patients after traumatic lower limb amputation from postoperative day 3 to 15 months after discharge was statistically significant ( F=990.144, P<0.01) . Bonferroni's multiple comparison test showed that there was no statistically significant difference in two-by-two comparisons between T7, T8, and T9 time points with each other ( P>0.05) , and the rest of the two-by-two comparisons were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Changes in the total PPQ score and the curves of the self-efficacy dimension, resilience dimension, hope dimension, and optimism dimension scores all showed a trend of a brief increase, followed by a continuous decrease, and then a slow increase to a plateau. Conclusions:Traumatic lower limb amputation patients show a wide range of changes in positive psychological capital levels from postoperative day 3 to 15 months after discharge, with a trend of a brief increase at discharge, followed by a steady decline, and then a slow increase to a plateau. Healthcare professionals should pay dynamic attention to the psychological state and psychological strength of patients after traumatic lower limb amputation and provide targeted interventions at different stages after discharge.
